Infrastructure
Joyent Cloud deploys a fully-meshed 10/40 Gbps network for fast response. We only use Tier 1 ISPs and top-grade server hardware. Joyent Cloud Analytics is a unique DTrace-powered cloud analytics package.
Joyent Cloud is a unique offering that incorporates time-tested carrier grade operating and file systems with a modern, modular, scalable SmartMachine architecture. We built our cloud to run dynamic apps fast—because there is no other speed on the Web.
Joyent Cloud partners with top-quality PaaS providers including database-as-a-service (MongoLab, MongoHQ), application environments (AppFog), mobile app development and hosting environment (StackMob), app monetization and distribution (TapJoy) and more.
Joyent SmartMachines are virtual machines running SmartOS, Windows or Linux operating systems. Joyent also makes purpose-built SmartMachine appliances for specialized computing tasks, including load balancers, databases, and application development and runtime environments.
Joyent SmartOS provides a comprehensive, secure environment combining best of breed technologies that deliver complete hardware and operating system virtualization, enterprise and carrier grade storage, and analytics.
Premium Hardware: Joyent Cloud only uses premium hardware. All our servers run Nehalem/Westermere Intel CPUs and include 15k RPM disk drives for the fastest bare metal in the business.
Node.js™ is an event-driven I/O server-side JavaScript environment pioneered by Joyent and capable of supporting 35 times more connections than Java. Node.js is used for ultra high performance and resource efficiency in SmartDataCenter.
Joyent Cloud Analytics provides visibility into all aspects of SmartDataCenter clouds, identifying potential network, compute, and application faults that could otherwise take hours, or days, to isolate and resolve.
Reliability & Resiliency
Joyent ensures your data is consistent and safe through the powerful enterprise-grade ZFS file system that is trusted by financial institutions and the U.S. military to protect and preserve their most critical information. In the Joyent Cloud ZFS runs on top of a high performance local storage subsystem. The result? 100% data resiliency and fidelity.
Performance and Scale
Premium Disk I/O and Network I/O accelerate all applications running in the Joyent Cloud. Linux and Windows SmartMachines running on Joyent’s KVM hardware virtualization also enjoy lightening fast boot times. SmartOS SmartMachines extend this performance by allowing applications to instantly burst into large pools of CPU.
Know Everything
The Joyent Cloud stack provides unparalleled transparency. Joyent Cloud customers can use our Cloud Analytics software to generate powerful real-time graphs that take you from high level analysis down to the very process responsible for latency. Joyent has also teamed up with New Relic and Zeus to deliver simple-to-use but powerful additional monitoring at the application and network layer. Collectively, this is the most comprehensive analytics package in the cloud.
Security
Joyent SmartMachines run inside container-based virtualization. This virtualization system builds a digital “steel wall” around your application which protects you from malicious internal attacks. This layer of security formerly only offered in SmartOS SmartMachines is now provided to customers running Linux and Windows machines.
